Meanwhile, on the ground, Jedi CommanderBarriss Offee aided a small surgical unit, saving countless lives during the ensuing battle. Eventually, the overall strength of the droid fighting force was enough to have Republic troops pulled off the planet (which was also due to the fact that Separatists had used saturation bombing which rendered the majority of the bota useless). However, the Republic managed to secure about two metric tons of bota, and they were eventually supported by the Venator-class Star DestroyerResolution, which forced the droid armies into a retreat.
